Do you think the comics are canon?

[elisi]

Go take jamalov29's very simple poll!

(Incidentally, how many people consider the movie canon? Because I certainly don't. And the movie is *much* closer to the show than the comics. There was more to the show than Joss - as is by now blatantly obvious! *g*)

ETA: Actually - what do y'all think about the movie in canon terms? Joss disowned it, yet it is obviously where everything started, right down to (S)Pike.

Joss disowned the movie, but he's said that the comicbook adaptation of his original script is "basically canon" although he "does have some issues with it". I'm happy to take his word for it - but then, I do about the other comics he's said are canon as well. :-)

On the other hand, I do have a Kristy Swanson icon so I'm clearly not completely anti-the movie.

How did I not know this? Thank you.

Indeed. It's interesting coming from this when looked at in the light of Doctor Who canon, of which there is SO MUCH (the TV show itself, books, comics, radio plays, etc. etc.) that the concept of canon is almost a moot point.

Oh the movie is *adorable*. :)
